- Abstract
Part I. Presents a study which developed a model for accumulation kinetics of organic substances as a function of the octanol-water partition ratio of the chemical and the weight, lipid content, and trophic level of the species. Accumulation differences between substances and between species; Efficiency for assimilation of contaminants from food; Discussion on food web accumulation in terms of ecological variables.
